Bunnings Warehouse launches Little Seed Collections after Woolworths Discovery Garden

Bunnings Warehouse has launched its own version of plant seeds collectables, giving supermarket giant Woolworths a run for their money.

Instead of collecting just one of 15 items for every $30 spent at checkout, Australian shoppers can walk away with the complete set and tray free during their one visit.

The ‘My Little Seeds Garden’ collection will be available nationwide as part of the hardware store’s school holiday workshops for children.

The vegetable and herb kit includes basil, thyme, lettuce, radish, oregano, mint, spinach, tomato, parsley, coriander, chives, dill, silverbeet, rocket and cucumber.

‘Picked up these for free at Bunnings today for the kids. You open the box and all the seeds are ready to go,’ one customer said.

Parents are sharing snaps of their new collection, with many revealing they didn’t have to spend anything to get the complete set for their kids.

‘They will be releasing them from each store for kids for free over the school holidays,’ one mother said.

Others urged customers to call their local stores before visiting as the launch date of collectables are different in every area.

‘Please call ahead to your store first! I just saved myself a wasted hour round trip as apparently they’re not doing theirs until next week,’ one woman said.

Another said: ‘Stores got allocated some of these to do what they want with them, give out, do with a class of students at a local school or in a DIY workshop. Some stores have done this already.  

‘There is no promotion of getting one with $30 spent like Woolies.’

The giveaway comes just weeks after Woolworths launched the Discovery Garden collectables – encouraging shoppers to collect from a range of herbs, flowers and vegetables.

For every $30 they spend at checkout, shoppers can pick up one of 24 different varieties of plant seeds, including thyme, basil, coriander, kale, spinach and carrots.

Shoppers can also grow their own flowers such as violas and pansies, with a free interactive growth chart and learning book available to support the growing journey.
